1. TO OPEN THE STROLLER

Some strollers have backrests adjustable between an upright and reclined position. The upright
positions are not suitable for use with children less than six months old. As a guide, the lowest recline
position should be used to transport babies, the backrest can be adjusted to a more upright position
as the child grows older and is able to support its head without assistance.

SAFETY WARNING

The sun is very strong. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD EXPOSED TO THE SUN. The canopy or hood on
this product will not give your child total protection from the harmful rays of the sun.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Regularly inspect and maintain your stroller to ensure the freedom of movement of the locking
devices and security of components. To prolong the life of your nursery product keep it clean and do
not leave it in the direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Removable fabric covers and trims may be cleaned using warm water with a household soap or a mild
detergent. Allow it to dry fully, preferably away from the direct sunlight.

HELPFUL HINTS

If the wheels squeak - use a silicon based spray or light oil ensuring it penetrates the wheel and axle
assembly.
When using your stroller at the beach - completely clean your stroller afterwards to remove the sand
and salt from the mechanisms and wheel assemblies.
If there are compression marks on the tyres - use a domestic hair dryer to gently warm the tyre and
the compression marks should slowly disappear. (DO NOT OVERHEAT).
DO NOT DRY CLEAN, OR USE BLEACH.
Do not machine wash, tumble or spin dry, unless the care labelling on the product permits these
methods.
Non removable fabric covers and trims may be cleaned using a damp sponge with soap or mild
detergent. Allow it to dry completely before folding or storing it away.
In some climates the covers and trims may be affected by mould and mildew. To help prevent this
occurring, do not fold or store the product if it is damp or wet. Always store the product in a well
ventilated area.
Always check parts regularly for tightness of screws, nuts and other fasteners - tighten if required. To
maintain the safety of your nursery product, seek prompt repairs for bent, torn, worn or broken parts.
Use only those parts and accessories approved by Britax.
